Critical Acclaim

"This is a book of great scope and lucid intelligence that integrates the work of many pioneers and captures the keen spirit of inquiry that animates this rapidly developing field. As a comprehensive summary of our current state of knowledge and a guide to the next generation of clinicians and researchers, Traumatic Stess will be the gold standard reference for years to come."
- Judith Herman, MD, author of Trauma and Recovery

"An impressive and important book. . . . From children to the elderly, from psychoanalysis to psychopharmacology, from the individual to society at large, the clinical material is all there. . . . Both comprehensive and integrative, Traumatic Stess will reshape the way that we understand trauma."
- Frank Putnam, MD, author of Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Personality Disorder

"The study of psychological trauma raises profound intellectual, ethical, and political questions, and this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to participate in the discussion."
- Carol Gilligan, PhD, author of In a Different Voice

"Encyclopedic. . . . The volume is an important contribution to the field and should become a basic work of reference for the growing legion of mental health professionals concerned with the role of traumatic stress in the production of human illness."
